... very easy with S!MPATI*
Our software S!MPATI* is used for
both product lines Environmental
simulation and Heat technology and
enables you to further optimize the
utilization of your environmental
testing systems, e.g. installed in the
fields of research, development,
production and quality assurance.
This software is also highly suitable
for Vötsch industrial heating systems.

... and controlled test conditions
The operation of the systems is
easy and time-saving. Evaluation
and documentation of test cycles
and production sequences as well
as the integration of your special
measuring data guarantees a higher
quality standard.
Simple User Interface
Electronic Signature
Electronic recording of measured values by software
S!MPATI* Pharma meets the guideline FDA 21 CFR Part
11. An electronic signature is possible as an option.

To define process cycles ...
Graphic Editor Symbolic Editor
Creating test profiles
S!MPATI*provides you with the right
editor for your various programming
tasks. You can choose between a
graphic or symbolic editor. A special
editor is available for temperature
shock test systems.
Graphic editor
The graphic editor facilitates the
creation of test programs. You can
use the graphic editor to design
your production and test cycles with
the snap of a finger.
Example for the creation of a test
program:
As soon as you have selected the
menu item "Create test programs",
the graphic editor appears on the
screen. A small cross is representing
your mouse pointer.
Move the small cross to a point
on the profile that you wish to
alter.
Double click to determine this
point. You have now created the
first point of your test profile.
Move the created profile point to
the desired position by clicking
the left mouse button and keeping
it pressed whilst moving.
Move the cross in any direction
(e.g. to the time t = 20 min).You
have now programmed the first
20 minutes of your test program.
Symbolic editor
The "Symbolic program editor" can
be used alternatively for all systems
with S!MPAC*, S!MCON/32* ,
S!MCON/32*-Net as well as
M!NCON/32* - controller. For creating
simulation programs, graphical
function blocks, e.g. set value, jump
and ramp are chained up. The resulting
test curve is clearly displayed in
a separate window.
The editor is particularly suitable for
programming special set value
curves, e.g. exponential functions.
Shock test editor
For temperature shock test cycles a
special editor is available. The main
test parameters such as temperatures
in the hot and cold zone as well
as the dwell times are entered in a
simple input dialog and automatically
converted into the corresponding
test program.
The following operating modes
are supported:
Normal (only time control)
Time-optimized (minimum overall
processing time with guaranteed
dwell time
Energy-saving
Advantages of editors
Time-saving as no extensive training
is required
Error-free and quick creation of
production and test cycles

Evaluation
Feeding and evaluation of process data
Evaluation of measured and process
data ...
Measured and process data are
captured, stored and can now be
comfortably represented in the form
of a graphic. They contain all information
you require to benefit from
the evaluated measurement data.
Set and actual values of all process
parameters
Status of all digital channels during
the entire test period
Deviations of actual values from
the set values
Gradients of the process parameters
Further data processing, e.g. with
Excel
Conversion of data into pdf-format
by means of separate tool
User Administration Set Value Entry
Special features
Represent the measured data
over the entire test period or over
a selected section of it
Zoom- and readout-function to
display sections and exact values
of the process parameters
Copy the measured data in graph
form to your word documents
Configurable calculating functions
(i.e. averaging, variance etc.)
Process visualisation (option)
BarCodescanning
BarCode-scanning technology can
now be used for data acquisition
(option).
Advantages
Simple to use - even in cleanroom
conditions
”Fault-free” input of lot numbers
and product ID's
Scanning of process data
Automatic assignment of process
cycles to existing products
Wireless scanner technology
scans and transfers the information,
e.g. during the loading of
chambers.

Integration ...
S!MPATI* in local
network
Retrieving information
S!MPATI* has a web server which
prepares relevant information and
makes it available within the
network. Data can be retrieved
from any PC using an appropriate
Internet browser.
Distribution of information
S!MPATI* manages all system error
messages. The report is a great tool
to search the report database for
individual systems, certain time frames
or different classes of error
messages.
In addition to the normal on-screen
messages and the entry in the
report file, e-mails can be generated
and transmitted to various recipients.
Conceivable recipients of
these e-mail messages can be the
PC in the office, a control centre or
a mobile telephone. S!MPATI* uses
an available mail server and supports
SMTP.
Configurable e-mail transmission for certain events
Interfaces
To network your systems, S!MPATI*
processes data from external interfaces:
RS 232 / RS 422 / RS 485
TCP/IP
IEEE 488.2/GPIB (option)
Through a TCP/IP interface S!MPATI*
is compatible with your special
application software.
Through internal interfaces, S!MPATI*
is compatible with:
Microsoft Word and Excel
Acrobat Reader (pdf-format)
LabView
S!MPATI* can operate under
Windows XP, Windows Vista and
Windows 7 or Windows Server
2003 / 2008 (32 and 64 bit).

Information
S!MPATI* networks up to 99 chambers
and systems of environmental
simulation and heat technology.
S!MPATI* provides a comfortable
means of operating and monitoring
from your PC. S!MPATI* also supports
the modern possibilities of
Internet Communication for monitoring
via Internet Browser and
information via e-mail.
S!MPATI* not only provides process
information at your Desktop PC but

Operation via internet browser by means of S!MPATI*-Web
S!MPATI*-WEB is an extension of
S!MPATI* and can be acquired in
addition to the S!MPATI* package,
if requested. It enables monitoring
and partial operation of the chambers
within the local company
network via internet browser.
S!MPATI*-WEB offers simultaneous
operation of different systems by
multiple users (multi-user-operation).
During operation the users are
separated from each other by
means of built-in protection mechanisms,
in order to prevent any
conflict.
It is possible to operate the unit
with value setting, creation, transfer
and start of different simulation
programs as well as configuration
and activation of measuring data
acquisition. Archived or current
measuring data can be displayed. It
is possible to make certain configurations
at the systems. Current
error messages can be viewed and
acknowledged.
